Death and Taxes. And if Steve and Co. should win...higher taxes! LOL
so more of 'the same' by a political party is what you strive for? this isn't football.....you can cheer-on a losing football team all you want(it doesn't cost a thing), it's owned by someone else....but to keep the same old in the cave of Poedunk Rotterdam without regards to the BIGGER picture is very shortsighted.....
it's vision,,,all about vision......not you, not me, not FDG, not Tommasone not any of them/parties
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

Not FDG. I am a concerned taxpayer who has witnessed the demise of the Town of Rotterdam under the leadership of Tommasone, Mertz, Signore, Della Villa and Parisi.
Rotterdam under Democrat rule had plenty of people with character flaws. This is too easy, but I can start and stop with Constantino's desires for young girls. Getting back on topic and more importantly, my concern is the questionable ethical relationship between local business owners and the Rotterdam Democrat Party in years past.
I agree, background checks should be done. Especially by the residents of Rotterdam who plan to vote on November 3rd. I've provided some news articles that look into the background of some of the big dollar supporters of FDG and Revitalize Rotterdam and their interaction with previous Democrat Town Boards. The residents can make their own decisions.
I recommend if you're not happy with this administration but don't want to see a return to the days of Democrats and developers chopping up the town. Vote row F - No New Tax Party.
I, like many other Rotterdamians would consider the NNTP as a viable alternative were it not for JOHN MERTZ. He will certainly keep those that know him off the line for fear his influence with Brian, Mike and Brad is prevalent. Sorry but MERTZ is part of the problem not part of the solution. His penchant for a "scorch the earth" mantra is not what the residents of the Town want or deserve. Thank God he is done! (And that is the general feelings from both partys.)
To me, and in my opinion, I see history, if given the chance, will just be repeating itself if fdg and crew gets elected. The players will be the same.
Like I've said before, 'the status quo is better than the past, and the NNTP is better than the status quo.' But that's how I see it.

So what if you dont like Mertz and your feelings were hurt.....guess what----that's life,,,,and you live in America where you have CHOICE.....and if you fail to pick a vision bigger than hurt feelings and Rotterdam,,,I'm sorry
and if what you say IS true....if Mertz is what you say....he will be voted out/let out or whatever, when the voters/vision planners decide.....
Happy Voting

First of all DelGallo does not equal Constantino. I think that your insinuations are irresponsible and irrelevant.
Constantino was a slime ball, i know this first hand, but Frank Del Gallo is nothing like him. Your correlations are fabricated out of desperation because FDG has a good shot at becoming supervisor.
Being a small businessman himself OF COURSE HE WOULD BE FOR BUSINESSES. Im not NEARLY as politcally SAVVY as you people but isnt it a good thing to bring business into a town to relieve the tax burden on its residents? Not to mention creating jobs, convienience, ETC ETC ETC. I could think of a MILLION reasons why business is good for ANY COMMUNITY.
But thats not the point I really want to get across. You parallel Constantino's conduct and ethics with Del Gallo's, which couldnt be FURTHER from the truth. To implicate him as some sort of shady person is ridiculous and in poor taste.
WOW shocker fdg is friends with Larned AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS TOWN. BIG DEAL.

No Vaddy. The nose that was done under was Mike Greasemer, Steverino's self annoited "Chief of Staff." I hear it was Town employees who dumped debris there from another Town owned piece of land. Again, where was the ooutcry from the fearless leader? Whata DOPE.
Again puddy, You 'heard' it was town employees. Was it or wasn't it? Is this a fact, a rumor, rhetoric or you assumption and opinion?

Felipe--hope you're paying attention to all the attention Mertz is getting here. Is everyone here attracted to him?????????????
Puddy-you are spot on again with your assessment of TH. You seem to be the only one who gets it.
BT--not sure what you're smoking--the status quo is what is causing this passionate response by so many folks. FDG will lead us out of the mess that the Tom and Gerry show have created.
Sal--what the heck are you talking about??? If Mertz switches to Dem???? OMG what would that say about us as life-long Democrats? The Schenectady Dems have already denigrated themselves by taking on HV who is not and will NEVER be a Dem. Just say NO....
Puddy-you are spot on again with your assessment of TH. You seem to be the only one who gets it.
Exactly...it appears that these are just puddy's 'assessment'....not based on fact.

How do you know this? You have stated that you never even met fdg.

I won't vote for HV, but she clearly did not denigrate the dems, in my opinion. If anything, she classed them up a bit. However, and I do agree....that I also was shocked that she was running on a dem line. I do not view HV as a bleeding heart liberal.

FDG is expected to lead everyone out like Moses did with the Hebrews.....well,,,,,when Molly gets a hold of him and the rest of the purported business he will bring in...the wine press will be full swing just in NYS style.....
I dont believe FDG can do anything about the LEVY with it's 'mandates', 'regs' etc........you can trade in the dark for so long before the mold takes off again.....
again----are folks really that satiated and apathetic that they will accept the status quo over and over and over again only repackaged for 'different' advertising like during superbowl----that is a very sad if true....
